In the 6th century Rome forced the churches of the then world to be in subjection to them, but this was not the way of Christ. Today the body of Christ and the church at large extend way beyond the perameters of Rome. But our foundation was never Rome. The apostles were all centered in Jerusalem and went out from there. When Jesus comes again in his glory, it won’t be to Rome.

If you enjoy a good fantasy, I’d recommend Lord of the Rings written by devout Catholic JRR Tolkien. Avoid any filth JK Rowling produces.

Oh good grief… what about the spells in Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit… the hypocrisy is very thick with this one
 
Uh, the Catholic Church’s foundation is CHRIST, not the city of Rome. The Vatican is in Rome because Peter was crucified and is buried there (in rather simplistic terms).
 
Yes and the Evangelical church- foundation is Christ too but the house of God is not built with brick and mortar. We are all living stones in this universal body.
 
It comes from a scripture: "You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 1st. Peter 2:5.

It means that the Church is not so much about a Magisterium of organization as it is a spiritual network comprised of God’s people ofevery denomination in every country of the world. We each are a living stone in this invisible building called the Church.
 
In the purest sense of the word, I am one living Stone in this universal body. Organizationally I am no longer Catholic.

Why should I consider anything you have to say as authoritative?
Throughout the thread your view has been uniquely polarized, and now I find your view of my church to be… problematic.

Well if you want to posture yourself and your religious organization as Superior to me

Posturing?
I believe you are reading more into my post then what was actually written. A known issue given what I have seen in this thread.

Do you have some reason for anyone to take your opinion over that of God’s church?

This statement assumes that my opinion is not of God’s Church, only yours is.

My opinion is not even brought up.
You are again reading more than is actually written.

As shown throughout this thread, there is a common theme of people reading in more than is actually there…and then trying to condemn it.

Your claim to being in God’s church rings hollow if you actually reject God’s church.
 
tgGodsway said:
Oh my goodness. This site is all about the superiority of Catholicism over all other brands. Your last statement shows this point clearly.

Well, it is called Catholic Answers. There must be a reason.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with giving a Catholic answer. No no… But that is not all you give. you give a Catholic answer with a warning to all other Christian groups. The warning is usually something close to a threat of hell, or purgatory, or something similar. When I found this site I became intrigued with the Catholic spin against other Christian groups. I found out there’s a protestant v’s catholic fight going on. I didn’t know.

My philosophy is, … don’t tear down someone else’s shack… just build a mansion next to it. If you’ve got the goods, it should be “good news.”

Oh, the goods are there.
But first, don’t ever read into a post more than is actually there.
The Catholic faith is full of nuance that is easily misunderstood.
I would encourage you to start another thread concerning questions you may have. You will find most here friendly and receptive.
You can ignore the rest.
 
Harry Potter is just silly. They aren’t particularly well written/edited, but it shows good winning over evil. It’s not the Gospel, but it’s hardly satanic.

Well, technically, if your profile is accurate, you actually are Catholic. You’re what’s usually described as fallen-away. This is why people are questioning your personal interpretation of Scripture—one person’s viewpoint rather than that of Christ’s Church.

I think it redefines what is evil. The good witch in wizard of Oz was portrayed as “good.” But from the standpoint of the scriptures, she was identified as evil. Evil is always portrayed in an attractive and beautiful light. Even Satan is considered to be an angel of light.
